Struth, this lot can't even get the flag the right way round! Least Brian's excited to be here.

Well that's the last Ronald, Mark & Kenny will see of Arthur... until the next tee!

Gary holes out for a 9. Nett 8 though!

Yes yes it's always nice here on practice Friday.

Gentle lapping of water on the banks and the delicate plop of a Pro V... ahh how relaxing.

Now THAT'S what I call a water hazard!

17 uphill holes followed by 1 downhill.

Not sure who this is but I know it's not Melvin.

The seniors just made it round 9 holes on the Friday.

Carlsberg don't make golf holes but if they did...

And speaking of drink looks like the cameraman has had a few already!

Is that Clouston sleeping in the background?

Put your hands up if you own stupid trousers.

Take a surprise photo of me will you Dougie, me and Wilson will be ready next time...

See, told you!

What's Graeme doing in 'Clown Corner'? The dolls not even got the redist nose.

Even the clubhouse is uphill!

Aye your smiling now but just wait till Dougie breaks out the 70s Intercounty Badminton stories...

Aye, told you so!

Lucky we're keeping ourselves good for the match the morn.

Kitty's runnin low so time to crack into the change bottle Charlie.

'Has do got yun key fur dis Henry?'

How many is Davie ahead in the vodka trophy this year Michael?

Here we see Davie in his natural habitat.

And Brian too!

Oh will you regret that last one the morn Andy? (see later photo for answer)

Slimline tonic's spokesman preaches it's values to an unbelieving audience.

Suddenly Wicker realises he's not got a VAT receipt for the last round.

Yeah you can force a smile this morning Andy but the A4 sheets on the wall have more colour!

Orkney & Shetland teams plus Mrs Gerrards trousers (far left).

Ian Poulter has a LOT to answer for...

Clown corner: Ian 'Jagger' Scott & Arthur 'Wild Thing' Pottinger.

Ah breakfast.

And here's one I wrote last week... " Goodbye Ruby Tuesday..."

Smokers corner. Hey guys if your looking for something to burn I could find you some wood inside!

The wooden guitar of Arthur and the wooden accordian of Jimmy play inside!

So if I play 11 holes more tonight then that means I only have to play 7 tomorrow - right?

Arthur & Jimmy's rendition of AC/DC's Back in Black goes down a storm.

It's like the X-factor in here, only with more talent on display.

Sharon and Dannii like it too, Simon's off signing up Jimmy on a 6 album £40M deal.

Oh its getting late, we've been in the bar for 12 hrs, golf the morn, nothing else for it...

..time to find a party!!!!!

But first we'd better wake up the lightweights. First time Hutch has been called a 'lightweight' ;-)

Ahhh another bar Eoin has fallen asleep in - least it's better than the Merkister toilets (Tanco 2001).

A high volume, full bodied red - and we're not talking wine here!

Damn, they followed us!

Now Kenny, about that outstanding bill you have at Flett's butchers...

Wur Lorraine - the hostess with the mostess. But what has Furry just shown her?

And then I said to Gandolf...

Host with the most Henry, soon to be the least (beer & Magners in the house that is)

"This Malibu & Tizer is alright Coltherd , is that what all you rugby boys drink?"

Plenty of fruit consumed here. Mostly apples in the form of Magners however.

Oh dear, we've all seen this look before. Usually followed by a free lift home and 3 days off work!

Notice how when it's time to leave it's a lovely day. Might as well go as there's no drink left!

Body bags are loaded onboard too. Like the marines no one is left behind.

WARNING: Whalsay can seriously damage your health.

Saying goodbye is an emotional experience and some handle it better than others...

As I said...

Odd man out competition...
Yep it's the bottle of highland spring as everything else here has over 4% alcohol in them.

Ah good times and memories... well maybe not that many memories...
